Damn I was big on his music years ago

When Kanye started with Yezus, making himself as if he is Jesus, that’s when I discovered this song






I used to play this all the time

This was when I really started to hate Kanye, today I don’t even care about Kanye
He snapped on that bihh

I wish he was In that bag more often

Busy is slang for smoking sherm getting fu*ked in the a*s where hes from
Get out of this thread whiteboy.

That type of racist stupidity is welcome on this forum.

Go back to stormfront, loser.

"Oddisee has been making albums for nearly two decades, but he’s had a few missed opportunities along the way that didn’t capitalize on.

Speaking to Bedroom Beethovens last week, the Diamond District rapper/producer reflected on times he could have contributed to commercially successful and critically-acclaimed projects such as Kanye West‘s Graduation, Dr. Dre‘s Compton and Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city.

“I’ve had so many records that I’ve been asked to be on,” he admitted. “I was asked to be on Graduation. To produce, I was asked to submit tracks to the Compton soundtrack. I was asked to submit tracks to good kid, m.A.A.d city.

Oddisee made sure to clarify there was no ill will toward any of the artists, but he just didn’t have the time to make a lot of these A-list collaborations come to fruition.

“Most of the times, it was just unfortunate circumstance of whenever I was asked to produce something for a bigger artist, I was always on tour and I had no time to do it,” he said. “That was pretty much it. Nothing else. I was like, ‘Oh man, I would love to do this but I’m not gonna be home for another six weeks.'”

Listen to Oddisee’s interview below:




The 37-year-old explained how his creative process didn’t align with shopping his beats as well as not having the right personality leading to productive collaborations.

My personality type — to shop music you have to be a bit more social,” he said. “You need to meet people, you need to go out, you need to network. I’m terrible at doing those things.”

He continued: “I’m very much turned off by a lot of industry events, sitting on the metaphorical black leather couch in the studio. I like to work alone. I don’t really even have the personality type to be social to really shop beats.”

As far as his own music goes, Oddisee released his new album, To What End, last week (January 20) featuring Freeway, C.S. Armstrong, Phonte and more.

The 16-track LP was released via the rapper’s own Outer Note Label."

Phonte/Skyzoo/Oddisee is like the holy trinity of underground artists from the early 2000's that have aged gracefully with their music over time. To me, they've created the blueprint on what artists music should sound/feel like has they get older.

Those opportunities he missed might have hurt him in his pockets, but that's it. He's still great

this story is weird to me.....

who's too busy to be on a kanye west or kendrick project or even dr dre project.... LOL


just doesn't add up!!!

you land placements on kanye west, kendrick, and dr dre projects

you might can hold off on touring for a few years ....

some Kanye West placements have been LIFE CHANGING FOR PRODUCERS

imagine calling Drake saying.. "Sorry drake and kanye i'm a little too busy to work with ya'll.. holla at me later"

LOL

makes no sense!

Shocked why lol, he mentioned it in the clip. His personality type and being turned off by industry events.

Any one of those features/collaborations would’ve def propelled him into a new realm tho, maybe “blown up” However, dude shows are legit and his fan base is stronggg


I been saying I was going to get The Good f*ght on vinyl, that album was the soundtrack to my life at one point
I jus wanted to believe that great art would find its way to the masses regardless if he played the game or not

Maybe he doesn't give a fu*k ...


No every artist cares about the fame and sh*t



Some n*ggas have their fan base and tour make their money and keep it lowkey

Nothing wrong with that

If you're desperate enough yeah. But an established underground guy like Oddisee putting everything he has going on, on hold for who knows how long just to collab with 2 guys on music that may or may not ever see the light of day? Eh..

still my favorite oddisee joint Oddisee over Kev Brown beats



story makes sense no one in they right mind would cancel a tour and give back all that money and hurt relationships with promoters to sit in studio sessions unpaid for the possibility of what they did getting placed on a album interviewer doesn't understand the game and tryna get a click bait moment
